These limited edition items are definitely out of my price range but I think it falls in line with other brands that are fully reflective so I can't scoff too terribly much about it. I am scoffing a little though. I can see this being a great 'luxury' Christmas present for the serious runner in your life, not necessarily something somebody would purchase for themselves but something someone would buy as a really nice gift. If you have a nanny or a grandparent that babysits for you and they are into running, buy them this. They deserve it.

I walk my dog in a neighborhood that has no sidewalks or street lamps, so at night it is PITCH BLACK...yet, it's a pretty bustling suburb so there's still a fair amount of traffic. And despite flash lights and little reflective bits and bobbles, cars either don't see us or don't care to slow down/move over if they do. So I am a little bit tempted by the full on reflective tights. There's no ignoring my entire bottom half lit up! LOL Just not sure I can justify that price...

I'm a hardcore runner in Toronto (Ontario) and since it is dark in both the morning and evening, I could justify the tights (though am unlikely to buy either version). The shirt is of no use right now because I would be wearing a jacket and am not going to buy the shirt to get proper seasonal use out of it next year.

I'm not into the snake pattern which is the main reason I won't buy them.

I also agree that even when you sport reflective materials, vests, and lights, drivers are not that courteous. You still have to run or walk defensively.

Luckily I never like the Black Friday special edition items, they're always too far out there and trying to be cutting edge trendy. I can't believe these got approved for production and even more, I can't believe they get approved for these price points.
